Apple’s last-gen AirPods Pro 2 are down to their lowest price to date
TL;DR
Walmart's early Black Friday sale offers the last-gen AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C at a record low of $139, featuring excellent noise cancellation, transparency mode, and up to 6 hours of battery life. They remain a solid choice despite the newer AirPods Pro 3 release.
With just a few weeks to go until Black Friday, we’re already seeing a number of worthwhile deals on fitness trackers, wireless headphones, and TVs. Now, thanks to Best Buy, we’re seeing the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C charging case down to an all-time low of $129.99 ($120 off) though November 14th. That’s the same price as the entry-level AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation. Meanwhile, Walmart is offering the same AirPods Pro 2 for $139 ($110 off), $10 more than the Best Buy discount. Once Best Buy’s deal of the day price on the AirPods Pro 2 expires, Walmart may once again have the lowest price around.
AirPods Pro (second-gen) with USB-C
Where to Buy:
Although Apple has released the excellent AirPods Pro 3, the second-gen AirPods Pro 2 remain a solid option, especially at the discounted price. The wireless earbuds combine superb audio with excellent ANC, along with a transparency mode that sounds natural and lifelike. In addition to allowing outside sounds in, the transparency mode can also help dampen loud noises, protecting your hearing from the sudden squeal of an emergency siren.
The AirPods Pro 2 can also double as FDA-approved hearing aids, while offering up to six hours of battery life with ANC enabled. Speaking of battery life, the charging case comes equipped with MagSafe, making it easy to place it onto a MagSafe or Qi2 wireless charger. The earbuds also feature an IP54 rating, so they should be able to withstand a little dust and water. For comparison, the latest AirPods Pro 3 feature an upgraded IP57 rating, which means they can withstand immersion in water up to one meter deep for up to 30 minutes.
The second-gen AirPods Pro also offer deep integration with other Apple products, allowing for automatic device switching. For example, if you’re listening to music on your iPhone and log into your Mac to watch a video, the AirPods Pro will automatically switch from the iPhone to the Mac. The earbuds also include four sets of ear tips in the box — including an extra-small option — making it easier to find the most comfortable fit.
